A newly formed congressional sustainable investment caucus has launched in the US House of Representatives. The caucus looks to support investing practices that recognise sustainability issues like the climate crisis as major financial concerns. The House Sustainable Investment Caucus will be co-chaired by US Representatives Juan Vargas and Sean Casten, with the aim of providing a space for members of Congress to learn about and discuss sustainable investment practices to better inform policy making. The launch was welcomed by non-profit Ceres, with President and CEO Mindy Lubber saying “failing to account for the risks and opportunities they present would betray the interests of their beneficiaries and other stakeholders. It is good to see that there is growing recognition of and urgency around this perspective in Congress.”
Ceres welcomes the formation of the House Sustainable Investment Caucus—co-chaired by @RepJuanVargas and @RepCasten—to help drive better understanding in Congress of the forward-looking and responsible investment practices our economy needs to flourish. https://t.co/FNafofKmLQ
